| Apr 9, 2012 at 20:19 | comment | added | Marc Gravell | @danpalmer perhaps the real unanswerable question is: does omnipotence trump halting? I'm not "invested" in a view (since I'm atheist ;p), but IMO it kinda has to - it already (if you take the Christian definition) trumps quantum theory and things like Heisenberg uncertainty theory. | |
| Apr 9, 2012 at 20:02 | comment | added | danpalmer | @MarcGravell I see what you are getting at, and I don't doubt your understanding of it, I should probably have read the answer more thoroughly. However despite the analogy being poor, I think the comparison still holds. | |
| Apr 9, 2012 at 18:24 | comment | added | Marc Gravell | @danpalmer re "laws of logic" (in your question edit), I took degree level math - I'm very familiar with formal logic | |
| Apr 9, 2012 at 18:19 | comment | added | Marc Gravell | @danpalmer was that comment perhaps intended as for Joshua's answer? I discuss neither the halting problem nor time (although I am familiar with both). Well, I did very briefly, like for about 10 seconds between v1 and v2 and then removed it. | |

| Apr 9, 2012 at 15:58 | comment | added | danpalmer | As I said, the exact example I gave isn't the best because it relies on time. If you know about the halting problem, you will know that it is not based on time, however this was the simplest version I could give in a question. | |
